Florida Food History Talk in Gainesville
Peggy has begun publicity for my upcoming talk in Gainesville. A Facebook event is available here.
Florida Food in the Women’s Pages: Restaurants, Home Cooks and Recipe Exchanges in the 1950s and 1960s
Saturday, June 27 from 2:30-3:30 p.m.
The 1950s and the 1960s have been described as the “Golden Era” for the women’s pages of newspapers. UCF professor Kimberly Wilmot Voss shares the stories of the women who made Florida the capital of food culture. She is the author of The Food Section and the coauthor of Mad Men and Working Women.
It is part of the Museum’s Florida Global Kitchen project that takes place from Monday, May 18 through Thursday, July 30, 2015:
”Take a bite out of history at the Matheson’s newest exhibition. Celebrate Florida’s international culinary heritage and step into history as the Matheson recreates the kitchen of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, thanks to a partnership with the Friends of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Farm.”
